What To Do In Pittsburgh This Weekend (30-31 August 2012)

3101 Penn Ave, Pittsburgh (at the 31st Street Bridge)

Thursday 30 August 2012 | 10:00pm | $5 | 21+ only

Looking for something to do tonight? Head out to the Pub to catch Ripple Music recording artist Devil to Pay, coming to visit from Indianapolis. Joining them will be locals Iron Crown and Argus (be sure to get there early, as Argus says they’re taking the stage first, and dusting off a few songs they haven’t played live in a long time — or ever, in some cases!)

4509 Liberty Ave, Pittsburgh (Bloomfield)

Thursday 30 August 2012 | 10:00 pm (doors 9pm) | $5 | 21+ only

Another great band from Indiana (these guys are from Fort Wayne) are also coming to Pittsburgh tonight: horror punkers Lurking Corpses. They’re making an appearance at Howlers, alongside local punk rockers Mud City Manglers, and opening the festivities with some Pittsburgh-style death metal will be Abysme (whom you might remember from the Iron Atrocity V.1compilation).

1306 E Carson Street, Pittsburgh (South Side)

Friday August 31 | 9:30 pm | FREE!! | 21+ only

How’s this for a fun Friday night? The Moose will be full of heavy rock ‘n roll craziness as FFITPL take the stage (of course you remember them, from when I reviewed their self-titled CD earlier this year, right?), with two other local bands, German Shepherd, and the newly-formed Supervoid. Best of all, the whole thing is absolutely FREE!!
